"A dark, oily, viscous material, consisting mainly of hydrocarbons, produced by the destructive distillation of organic substances such as wood, coal, or peat." We used it for the horses hooves back in the days.
I dare say. How did you get it from "brat", though? Some kind of "reverse the word and then chop off its last letter" game? (You should start a thread for it). I'd better try "Ra", then, from "tar"?
